Wide spread coverage has in the past been given to what suicide attackers expect to receive in whatever the Islamist version of Heaven is.

They rarely prepare these acts without other people knowing. However friends and family may be reluctant to inform as what do they get out of it ? Their friends or family members sent to prison as failures and their act of betrayal discovered.

How about this;

If an individual provides information to the police to prevent an act of terror being carried out by an individual then that person can be granted a large reduction in the sentence that the person charged with preparing the act receives ( there could be other conditions like a sort of de-programming course for those who have been tied up in terrorist philosophies).

Then going to the police not only saves the innocent people who would have been murdered, but also helps save the potential terrorists, many as we know have been groomed to carry out these acts.

Think of how much more attractive that would be to parents or spouses, who may have a abstract sense of loyalty to the state - but very much have the best wishes of the potential terrorist/child/partner at heart.

In short provide a way that providing information to the police could also save the suicide bomber - and thus provide a strong incentive to provide life saving information.

"We used to think that you could spend your way out of a recession and increase employment by cutting taxes and boosting government spending. I tell you in all candour that that option no longer exists." James Callaghan

“The trouble with theoretical economists is that they don't understand that when you have a deficit, you can only finance it by borrowing, and you've got to persuade people that it's worth lending money to you and that they'll get their money back... there's no way of escaping it.” Dennis Healey during the 1976 Stirling Crisis.

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens ... Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of over-turning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."
John Maynard Keynes, 1920.

"To preserve [the people's] independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our selection between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude."
Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States of America,1801-1809.
